Application of building information modeling (BIM) for transportation infrastructure: a scoping review

Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an emerging technology frequently and thoroughly implemented in the civil construction sector. Yet a complete BIM implementation developed explicitly for the transportation infrastructure sector remains primarily uncharted. The infrastructure sector plays a crucial role in the economy and society. Because of this substance, it is of belief BIM has great potential to increase the overall efficiency and sustainability in this industry. This scoping review will study the many advantages of BIM, while being conscious of the current research gaps and shortcomings concerning a complete BIM implementation into the transportation infrastructure sector. Additionally, this paper will explore future possibilities and directions for the development of BIM. This scoping research will be conducted using a specific methodology ensuring an accurate representation of the available literature, guaranteeing a comprehensive conclusion regarding the recommendations concerning a full BIM implementation into the transportation infrastructure sector.
